Preparation and Study the Structural and Optical Properties of CuS nano film

Thin films of CuS were prepared by Successive Ionic Layer And Reaction method from solution of CuC12 and Na2S at two different molarities (0.03 M and 0.06 M) on glass substrates at room temperature. The structural and optical properties of CuS films were determined using X-ray diffraction and UV-VIS...

Description
Summary:Thin films of CuS were prepared by Successive Ionic Layer And Reaction method from solution of CuC12 and Na2S at two different molarities (0.03 M and 0.06 M) on glass substrates at room temperature. The structural and optical properties of CuS films were determined using X-ray diffraction and UV-VIS spectrophotometer respectively. The films are polycrystalline, very adherent to the substrate and well crystallized according to the centered cubic structure with preferential orientation along (103). It was found that the energy gap of CuS varies from 2.4eV to 2.8eV for thickness of 0.55 mu m and 0.82 mu m respectively (i.e depending on the deposition conditions).
